Video: Erectile Dysfunction – How To Conquer It

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection of sufficient quality for satisfactory sexual intercourse.

In the past ED was frequently neglected by healthcare providers as it was considered to be a psychological condition and the reluctance of many men to admit to suffering from erection problems means it is difficult to determine its prevalence.

In studies of UK men aged 18-75 years, 13 - 39% reported that they had experienced ED sometime in their life. One study has also shown that 26% of men reported they were having current erection problems.
